VICTORY! 56 to 41

We are so happy to share this wonderful news with you. This afternoon, the Senate had their final vote on S.J.Res.54 - recommending an end U.S. support for the Saudi-led war on Yemen. The outcome was 56 to 41 in favor!

We have been working to end the war on Yemen for years and today we are celebrating. This is a big step forward and is energizing. We are using this moment to step up our efforts to counter militarism everywhere: from deaths in Yemen to the devastating impact militarism has on the environment.

Today’s vote was a total rebuke of Trump and his administration’s alliance with the Saudi regime. Along with passing S.J.Res.54, the Senate also approved this afternoon a non-binding resolution recognizing that Mohammed bin Salman was responsible for the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
